5 Places in Abu Dhabi That Will Give You the Thrill of a Lifetime
If your next destination is Abu Dhabi, you’re in luck – the city has several
spots where you can engage in exciting, adrenaline-pumping experiences.
As the home of the highest waterslide in the United Arab Emirates
and the Middle East and the fastest roller coaster, tallest roller coaster
loop, and longest six-seater water coaster in the world, you have plenty of
places to go where you can get the thrill of a lifetime.
Below are the five best places in Abu Dhabi where you can enjoy fun,
adrenaline-pumping experiences:
1. Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi
The UAE’s ultimate water playground boasts some of the most thrilling rides
and slides in the country and the world, such as:
- Dawwama
The world’s biggest six-person tornado water coaster can give you an
adrenaline-pumping ride you won’t find anywhere else.
This raft ride launches you and five other guests through a tornado slide with
sharp twists and turns at heart-pumping speeds.
As you reach the center, the ride accelerates at a faster speed until you go
through the 20-meter-long tunnel slide. The entire ride and splash into the
pool won’t fail to get your heart pumping.
- Falcons Falaj
Falcons Falaj is another water raft ride designed to give the thrill of a
lifetime. This high-speed ride takes you through an adrenaline-packed
watercourse full of outrageous turns, twists, and drops.
As the longest six-seater water coaster on the planet, you’ll love every
minute of this ride, even if you might be shouting the entire time.
- Jebel Drop
Sliding down the Middle East’s highest waterslide is one of the most thrilling
attractions you’ll find on Yas Island. Jebel Drop is a 10-story-tall water
slide, making it the longest slide in the park.
As you go down the monstrous slide, try to keep your eyes open to get amazing
views of the waterpark and Yas Island.
- Liwa Loop
Falling down a waterslide instead of pushing yourself to slide down is a more
thrilling, heart-pumping experience. It’s something you can try in Liwa Loop.
Liwa Loop is the first freefall drop waterslide in the country and the Middle
East.
After stepping inside the capsule, you wait for the floor to disappear, after
which you’ll plunge into a high-intensity looping waterslide. This slide
deserves a spot on any adrenaline junkies’ bucket list.
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is near CLYMB Abu Dhabi, another entertainment hub
housing the region’s tallest indoor wall climbing
and biggest indoor skydiving flight chamber.
2. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
